Me and my partner are buying a 1 bedroom apartment in Kingston Park with a mortgage. We wish to retain our Kingston Park conveyancer, but the mortgage company says she’s not on their "panel". It seems we have no option but to use one of the bank panel firms or continue with our Kingston Park property lawyer and pay for one of their panel ones to represent them. We consider that this is inequitable; are we not able to insist that the lender use our Kingston Park solicitor ?
No, not really. Your mortgage offer is subject to its terms and conditions, one of which will be that lawyers will on the lender’s conveyancing panel. Until recently, most lenders had large numbers of law firms on their panels: a borrower could choose one for themselves, as long as it was on the lender's panel. The lender would then simply instruct the borrower's lawyers to act for the lender, too. You can use your lender's panel lawyers or you could borrow from another lender which does not restrict your choice. A further alternative is for your Kingston Park conveyancing solicitor to apply to be on the conveyancing panel.
My grandson is in the process of securing a newly built flat in Kingston Park with a home loan from Yorkshire BS. His lawyer has said that there is a delay in completing the ‘Disclosure of Incentive Form’. What is this document - I have never come across this before?
The form is intended to provide information to the main parties engaged in the purchase. Therefore, it will be provided to your son’s lawyer who should be on the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel as a standard part of the process, and to the valuer when requested. The developer will be required to start the process by downloading the form and completing it. The form will therefore need to be available for the valuer at the time of his or her site visit. The form should be sent to the Yorkshire BS conveyancing panel solicitor as early as possible, in order to avoid any last minute delays, and no later than at exchange of contracts.
Due to the guidance of my in-laws I had a survey completed on a property in Kingston Park prior to instructing conveyancers. I have been informed that there is a flying freehold aspect to the house. The surveyor has said that some banks tend not grant a mortgage on this type of house.
It varies from the lender to lender. HSBC has different instructions from Birmingham Midshires. If you call us we can check via the relevant bank. If you lender is happy to lend one our lawyers can help as they are accustomed to dealing with flying freeholds in Kingston Park.
